Iam sorry,that's awful to hear ,my condolences go out to him and his family.Maybe you should just bring along some flowers it might sound simple but I believe they will appreciate the thought and the remembrance of their son/family member.I wouldn't get anything to 'about him' as they may still be touchy with the thought so simple but nice is a good idea.Maybe something he liked or a hobby engraved with a poem as a reminder of his happiness.

I am so very sorry about your loss in this tragedy. I had a little cousin who died in a weird accident at sixteen and having seen this can probably give some ideas.
1. get to work on making a collage. This is something that you can do with your friends. Make triple copies of any pictures, one for the collage, maybe an extra for the family, and then have one for yourself. The collage is very therapeutic.
2. any videos, dvd's, any paintings, notes - save those, copy those, and share with the family.
3. as time passes, visiting the family and checking on them will be something they cherish. a family knowing their child is not forgotten is one of the best things you can give through the year.
4. if you want to make scrap books with funny, touching, or just anything related to your friend and the whole group of friends in your life experiences together, just do it because it will always be something treasured.
None of this needs to happen right away. My best friend died, and I send her parents something they would enjoy monthly to bimonthly so they know I always love their daughter with all my heart and miss her terribly.
I'm very sorry for your loss; my heart goes out to all of you.

My best friend died in a car crash,me and him and his family were very close,i loved him so much-as a friend and found it hard to deal with his death and he was there for me in every way possible-and then he wasnt. His next birthday,he wasnt going to be there,i didnt not want to celebrate in any way as would mean i'm fogetting him,and i didnt want that. I told his mum and dad exactly this as asked them,as it's their son so they must be thinking and feeling the same. Do you have any photo's of him and you? And ask if his parents have a nice one of him,and one of him and them,and get like a trio photo frame. And go for a meal or a nice lunch somewhere you know he liked. That's what i did,i thought it would be really emotional,and a sad atmosphere,there was a little,but it was a great night despite what had happened to him,i know he could see us-it sounds so daft i know but i knew he was smiling that night,because of what we were doing.
If your not keen on that,i'm sorry! But i do hope you find something x

I'm so sorry that your friend died. His family would appreciate any gift you bring, a card or letter about him and you would be thoughtful, Photos or videos are sentimental, Some people give guardian angel pins, statues. Maybe bring pizza and soda over for dinner and spend time just talking to them. Or just go over to his home and hug them and ask if there is anything you can do for them. Again I'm sorry for you and all of his friends and family, all we can say is I'm sorry and he will always be in your hearts.

Did you guys take a lot of pictures? Record any videos for fun? If so...then make a colage of pictures of him. It'll be touching....even though it might not seem like it. And it you have an videos of you guys joking around, then ediot it and make a little tribute of him to them. If you make the colage, then put in the middle, in a nice cursive, and his favorite color, "You're name will never be forgotten" or something touching like that. So a gift like that and a card with some red roses.
I'm sooo sorry to hear about your friend!

Oh I am so sorry for your loss, I am sure that if you have a picture of you and your friend together and you put it in a nice frame and wrap it up and make a nice card for them they would cherish that forever. Losing a friend is one of the hardest things we have to learn and the older we get the more friends we lose. Just go over there they will be delighted to see you and it will be good for you to see them. I am sure a photograph of the two of you if you have one would be great.

I Lost one of my best friends about a year a go.. She was only seventeen and died in a boating accident. I collected pictures of her and made a movie of them, with a soundtrack that reminded me of her...
maybe you could do the same? even better if you got some footage...
I still watch the film from time to time...
my condolences to you and all of your friends family and friends..
